Urchin Pin #26 A115008 The drawers have spalted mapleIn the unique Urchin Pin Series, the artists continue to explore materials. This pin has gentle little spikes of red monofilament fiber. The fibers are embedded into polymer and the whole surface has a liquid red polymer painted over it. It is very much like something special found in a tide pool by the ocean.
